MANTECA - The Manteca Police Department concluded a monthlong narcotics investigation Wednesday when officers served a search warrant that led to two arrests, authorities said.

Police searched a home in the 6500 block of East Woodward Road in Manteca about 10 a.m. Wednesday. Inside the home, they found several pounds of marijuana, hashish, a lab for manufacturing hashish, nearly $6,000 in cash and four firearms, two of which were reported stolen, authorities said.

Police arrested Seth Pino, 20, and Marcus Stelle, 21, on suspicion of possession of concentrated cannabis, possession of marijuana for sale and manufacturing a controlled substance, officers said. Pino also was arrested on suspicion of receiving stolen property and firearm possession during the commission of a felony, police said.

STOCKTON - A 37-year-old woman was walking through Mattie Harrell Park at West Eighth and South Lincoln streets about 1:15 p.m. Thursday when she was approached by two people, police said.

A teenage boy approached the victim from behind, pushed her to the ground, held a pocketknife against her and tried to yank a gold necklace off her neck, authorities said. The victim removed the necklace and gave it to the boy, who then fled on foot with a woman.

The robbers were described as a black boy, 14 to 15 years old, standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, with brown eyes, a sweatshirt and jeans; and a black woman, 24 to 25 years old, standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 160 pounds, with green pants, police said.

Their vehicle was struck five times by gunfire, authorities said. A house on Cambridge Drive also was struck by bullets.

The shooter was described as an Asian man standing 5 feet 6 inches tall with an average build and black clothing, police said.

TRACY - The Tracy Police Department arrested a man wanted in connection with a home invasion robbery early Thursday after a dangerous pursuit and an hours-long standoff with SWAT team officers, authorities said.

Officers terminated the pursuit about 4 p.m. Wednesday because of Martin's erratic driving and traffic conditions on Tracy Boulevard, authorities said. They found him an hour later at a home in the 1400 block of Oak Street. Martin refused to come out, but officers obtained a search warrant for the home and took him into custody about 1 a.m. Thursday.

Francisco Gonzalez, a 31-year-old parolee at large, also was arrested at the home, police said.
